A “megachurch” is facing the need to explore alternative locations as the Plymouth City Council has turned down its plan to build on undeveloped farmland. Eagle Brook Church had proposed the construction o a 64,000 square-foot church at the intersection of Maple Grove Parkway and Chankahda Trail, located just across the street and to the north of Meadow Ridge Elementary School.
The proposed site is also about two miles north of the Wayzata High School, which is where Eagle Brook Church services have been held for over five years.
The council ultimately voted 6-1 to reject the project, citing concerns about its compatibility and impact on the surrounding neighborhood. Maple Grove Mayor Mark Steffenson expressed reservations, emphasizing the operational challenge posed by having only one access point to the proposed facility.
Minnetonka and Corcoran were the two other communities who previously denied applications from Eagle Brook.
